11 July 15:41

Latin en:Phonology should be somewhat accustomed to some readers, back it is an antecedent to the phonological systems of some of the worlds alotof accepted languages. In addition, one arrangement of Latin phonology charcoal animate today, in institutions such as the en:Roman All-embracing Church; this arrangement is accepted as en:Latin (ecclesiastical).

    The Roman alphabet has 5 basal en:Vowel: a, e, i, o, u. In addition, there are 5 en:Diphthong: ae, au, eu, oe, ou. There are seventeen basal consonants: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, x. There are three belletrist that are begin alone in adopted borrowings: two consonants (k, z) and one beat (y). There are aswell a few accordant digraphs. To added complicate things, in some texts i and j are both accounting i (very common) while both u and v are generally both accounting u (less common, and begin in some avant-garde printings) or both accounting v (very accepted in age-old inscriptions). For added detail, see on Wikipedia.

    Note: this is actual unfinished, but its backward and Im tired.

    To do: apple-pie this up, add diphthongs and digraphs. Back-up (pointlessness?) in ablaze of en:Latin phonemes? Not that ones perfect, but it seems a decay to make two awry abstracts rather than amalgamate them into a bigger whole...
